15th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Last three wins have been in 2m4f handicap chases at Ayr, although won a 2m Ayr novice handicap over hurdles in March 2023 (good); hasn't been in top form over fences on last three starts and probably best watched this time. |

12st 2lb |
Three chase wins at Ayr (2m4f on soft/good to soft) last winter but below best there in March and at Carlisle since; Callum Pritchard takes off a helpful 5lb but adding cheekpieces acknowledges something needs to change. |

10st 3lb |
Multiple course scorer but this veteran chaser has been pulled up on his last three runs, including over 2m here last time; hard to warm to. |

24th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Came good at 32nd attempt, from just out of the weights in Perth chase (3m, good) ten days ago; has run well here (albeit over hurdles) and is still unexposed over staying trips; no surprise if he features. |

Has 0-31 strike-rate and is 2lb wrong today but ran quite well when upped to 3m over hurdles at Ayr (soft; also suited by good) in March and remains unexposed over this trip; back over fences today; not ruled out. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 1-22 under rules and clearly hard to win with but he arrives in form having placed in a second successive Highland National here (3m6f, good) last month; just as effective over this shorter distance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only 1-21 overall and clearly hard to win with, but he was runner-up in this 12 months ago and returns in form having been running well from 2m4f to 3m; in the mix. |

Sole win under rules came in a handicap chase in 2023 (2m7f, soft); stays 3m6f but nearly won over this far at Carlisle on his reappearance and not disgraced since. |

Bumper (yielding) and 2m7f chase (good) winner who is hard to make a strong case for based on three starts since a lengthy absence. |

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled to get competitive off lowly marks in handicap chases last year but appeared to display improvement when making all to cause 12-1 surprise in maiden point at Friars Haugh (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now needs to build on that performance. |
